  • April 1, 2010

Chelsea Handler invites her loyal band of mostly comedian friends for episode 52 in season 4 of Chelsea Lately, featuring Chuy Bravo, Heather McDonald, and the Sklar brothers. True to form, the show opens on Chelsea's quips about pop culture headlines and the latest celebrity scandals in the news. Between making fun of Angelina Jolie for her perceived attempts to steal Jennifer Aniston's style, Chelsea also laments the ubiquity of Twitter and the triviality of its content. She takes a swipe at Burger King, drawing laughs from the audience and her panel by quipping that the restaurant should start serving healthier food if it really wanted to use the slogan "have it your way."

Turning to more personal matters, the Chelsea panel explores the world of online dating. Heather McDonald shares her experiences with meeting men online, recalling a date with a man who turned out to have a very specific fetish. The Sklar brothers commiserate with her, recounting their own misadventures in trying to make connections through the web. They emphasize the bravery it takes to go on a blind date, but the discussion veers into a more serious direction, with Heather McDonald sharing the story of a friend who was physically assaulted while on a first date arranged through a popular dating app.

In between talking about their own lives and Chelsea's own exploits, the panel members doled out some witty banter and got into playful arguments, exemplifying the atmosphere that Chelsea Lately viewers know and love. There's plenty of teasing and interruptions to go around. Chuy Bravo counters Chelsea's joke about the Sklar brothers' niche as "identical joke telling," with his own observation: "You know what they say. Two heads are better than one." Heather McDonald jumps in with observations about the Sklar brothers' tendency towards the "clean cut" look, while Chelsea takes playful offense to Chuy's insistence that his single status isn't necessarily his own choice. The group's easy rapport is sure to keep viewers entertained and laughing throughout the episode.

In addition to the panel discussion, fans of Chelsea Lately will also enjoy the show's sketches and segments. In one of the episode's standout moments, Chelsea reenacts a scene from The Bachelor with Chuy Bravo standing in as the lucky contestant on the dating show. The resulting interaction between the two draws plenty of laughs from the audience, as Chelsea takes on the role of the overly enthusiastic and sweet-talking host while Chuy plays the coy bachelor. This sketch is a perfect example of Chelsea Lately's lighthearted approach to spoofing popular culture and pop entertainment.

Throughout the episode, Chelsea and her guests touch on a variety of relevant topics, from the latest celebrity gossip to the more serious issue of sexual assault, all while retaining the show's signature irreverent and silly tone. While this episode is sure to leave viewers laughing and feeling like they're in on the joke, it's also clear that Chelsea and her panel are unafraid to talk about serious issues and honest experiences. By the end of episode 52, it's clear that Chelsea Lately has once again proven itself as one of the most irreverent, funny, and engaging talk shows on television.
